Another episode of The Police discography run through – Regatta de Blanc. To me, this album is where Copeland shines the most, especially in the front half. Message in a Bottle is a fantastic song with a great guitar lead, but god damn are the drums fucking fantastic. The little triplet cymbals on the after-chorus

The Wall is like a Tarantino movie. First, it’s long as fuck. Two sides! Two motherfucking sides. Second, it’s problematic. Look at the lyrics to the song “In The Flesh”. I feel like if I quote them, WordPress will throw me straight into the brig. And yes, I fucking know that it’s all a part

If you’re a subscriber to my blog via emails – do not be alarmed- of course this isn’t a new listen. However, let’s set the scene for that first listen. It’s 2016. I’m a chubby 17 year old currently visiting my family in Chicago. Evanston, to be specific for all the Chicago purists (more specifically,

Steve from Stranger Things strikes my blog again! I will now just call him Joe. Or Djo. Like Django Unchained. I thought this album was good, but not as good as the previous record for two main reasons. One, songwriting. I didn’t think the songwriting was bad by any means here, but the themes of

Let’s address the elephant in the room: This title. Jesus Christ, it’s horrible. I am not sure how many in person conversations I’ll have where I am socially cued to mention this album by title, but I would go to great lengths to avoid uttering the title. Ask me what lengths if you want. I

Dookie is a very important album in the general scape of music for many reasons. First off, it’s one of the best selling albums of all time. Secondly, there is so much that would’ve never happened if not for this album & Green Day in general, who adapted the punk/rock/grunge sound and added an element

I fiddled too long with this title formatting. Leave it as it is. Don’t you dare comment on it. WordPress, you have your problems. Third leg of The Police discography run through was an album that sonically teleports me back to my childhood, although I am not 50 years old, it is true. I can

What can I say about this one? Sorry if you click on a review and that’s the verdict, but tough shit, sometimes that’s the case. The Talking Heads are legendary and this is one of my favorites. David Byrne is an incredible songwriter and vocalist. Whatever. I’ll stop talking. Just watch this live performance. Favorite

A really fucking good psych rock record. Steve from Stranger Things can get down! That’s right, this is Steve from Stranger Things’ band. And I could call him Joe Kerry, or Djo, but I think inserting Steve from Stranger Things three times in a paragraph is a necessary opportunity to capitalize on when it comes

My first listen to a Sade record, with more to come for sure, was a bit underwhelming. Not because her voice wasn’t amazing (it was), or that there weren’t good songs (there were), but I think my hopes were a bit high coming into this. I had heard loads of things about Sade coming into
